Refrigerant: Pressure, Vacuum and Temperature Specifications
Temperature/pressure relationship
In a partially charged refrigerant container, refrigerant gas comes to the surface, which under particle formation becomes fluid. This occurs under
pressure and is know as gas pressure. Similar to R-12 refrigerant, the gas pressure of R-134a is temperature dependent.

WARNING! Paint repairs on vehicles with A/C:
-
While performing body/paint repairs involving the use of preheating or drying ovens, do not expose any component of the A/C system to
temperatures above 80 °C/176 °F.
-
Excessive heat will cause a pressure increase which could burst the system.
